A Loser’s Lament
1) Now I have tried to make the best out of a thing or two,
But this old world just-a-keep on turning, won’t wait for you.
I’m a sittin’ here doing nothing but biding my time,
And nothin’ much ahead for me but a doubtful mind.
2) I had a little smile for a little while a way back when
But as time went on it turned to a frown that would not mend.
Yeah, I used to laugh some; I had a little fun like anyone,
But trouble come along and hit me in the gut like a shotgun.
Now listen to me children, and don’t you cry
Your mama’s gonna’ be there on the day you die.
And listen to me people, and don’t you moan,
For the wind that’s blowin’ will blow you home.
3) You know I had a song that played one time on the radio.
t‘was a little too odd for the new wave crowd, and a wee bit too slow.
It wasn’t very good, but they said I should, so I did it.
But little did I know that behind the scene, God must have forbid it.
4) So I took up a song or two for funerals;
It’s a whole lot better than singing in a bar and using them urinals.
They told me not to sing too loud; sing low instead.
They told me not to play too fast, you might raise the dead!
Now listen to me children, and don’t you cry
Your mama’s gonna’ be there on the day you die.
And listen to me people, and don’t you moan,
For the wind that’s blowin’ will blow you home.
6) Now these days I just sit around and reminisce
About the good old days singing hymns in perfect bliss.
But that was then and this is now, you can’t go back.
But if I could, I think I would, and that’s a fact. You see
7) There’s a whole lot of ifs, ands, and buts about the way things go in life.
And the woulda, coulda, shoulda’s can cause some serious strife.
The ins and outs, and ups and downs; that’s just the way things go,
But that kind of stuff makes a guy like me quit doing the things I know.
Now listen to me children, and don’t you cry
Your mama’s gonna’ be there on the day you die.
And listen to me people, and don’t you moan,
For the wind that’s blowin’ will blow you home.
